January 17, 2011...back to the Weight Watchers cookbooks. This one is from "20 Minute Recipes" on the shelves June of 09. It's a very satisfying chicken and rice mix with an awesome chicken broth base gravy.

The gravy is to DIE for!! I had a hard time not licking the skillet after Lisa plated it for us. Very easy meal that is filling and low calorie. Enjoy!
Haha! That reminds me of something funny that happened in Costa Rica:
ReplyDeleteWe went to a hot springs at a fancy resort then had a buffet dinner there. Near the soups it labeled a chicken soup and a garlic soup. Ben got a cup of the garlic soup - IT WAS LIKE HEAVEN! So we went back up for a bowl, and as Ben spooned it into the bowl, the chef behind the counter said: "Um, sir, that's gravy". We pretty much wanted to puke right there, but Ben kept it cool and just said "I know"
HA!
